Before ripping Saban, know Aggies’ former Miss USA is a fan of cargo shorts

This is where I draw the line. Any man worth his salt and with itty-bitty kids (we’ve got two with another due around Christmas) knows cargo shorts are worth their weight in gold. Even gold-colored ones.

Sippy cups, burp cloths, crayons (and paper), Medela parts (don’t ask, or at least don’t ask me) and so on all fit handily in the assorted pockets. I’m a cargo shorts guy – and a cargo pants guy while we’re at it. So I posted my defense of Saban and cargo shorts via @BrentZwerneman on Twitter, and surprisingly plenty of Aggies came to my defense. Not surprisingly, many were dads.

Here are a few reactions (some slightly edited for grammar and so forth) on the cargo shorts front, with Saban and top-ranked Alabama rolling into town for a Saturday game against the sixth-ranked Aggies (you might have read about):

* Aggie and Miss USA 2001 Kandace Krueger Matthews: “… Way better than a fanny pack or a man purse!”

* Joshua Wager: “Wore cargo shorts before kids, wear them with kids and will continue. I feel no shame in doing so.”
